So that's 3 Spanish players you would expect to be in the first 11. How many have their been in the history of the club?
Pique us the only other I can think of.

United will not end the transfer window with the same squad that they currently have.

£28m for a guy I've never seen and heard nothing about

Its OK, there's probably a load of quality players you haven't heard about yet.

I'm not being a dick. There's lots of players I dont know about either. Herrera isn't one of them though, I think he's very good, been watching him since the Euro u21s a few years back.

Make you wonder if maybe Woodward has the eye on the ball, and busting out a few things under the radar.

Be a pretty deft move if all the attention that was on Kroos and co. was a smoke tactic to get other **** done.

That's probably too Tom Clancy, but fair play anyway Ed, let's keep them coming!

Few places saying confirmation might come official after England match. Club cautious not to announce news in untimely fashion like Moyes exit etc. Interpretation making the announcement during England game would be bad form..

I genuinely believe Kroos was a target for Moyes. So I wouldn't say he was a smokescreen, but I would say that this is encouraging from the club. Getting deals done without a drawn out saga. This is more like Manchester United.

Fair enough then. Do you think he's worth £28m?

Watching Phil Jones over the course of last season and in the England match today, if he played for anyone else, he'd be considered a comedy figure.

Its probably about right imo. Maybe a bit too much but they wouldn't even negotiate for less than his release clause.

Kagawa

Happy about the deal for Herrera, was anyone else in for him this time? Can't remember if barca or real had any interest last summer

I think the price will even out if the wages

£50,000 a week

is true

He is a comedy figure to anyone who doesnt follow United. Have ya seen the mans face:eek:

Was Rooney booed by the English there?

Speak for yourself there brah!

Before last summer most people probably wouldnt have watched much of Herrera, but since we very nearly signed him late last summer im guessing quite a few Utd fans will have tuned into at least some of the Athletic Bilbao matches to see what he was like.

RobertKK

Six more players to follow Herrera to United, says ITK via twitter, yes I am ITK to know one should not believe the ITK....

For fun...

Memphis Depay
Luke Shaw
Hector Moreno
Daley Blind
Thomas Vermaelen
Nigel de Jong.

No marquee signing in that list = it is not an ITK list but made up, but a marquee name would all have been part of a make up list....

Lord TSC

Lads, Suarez and whatever he does is not on topic in the slightest, has nothing to do with Man United and, to be frank, the discussion will only derail the topic utterly.

I've already deleted three posts which didn't even vaguely try and link the incident to United, and I refuse to let yet another Liverpool debate break out in this topic.

There's a topic to discuss whats happening in the game. Use it, not this, to discuss Suarez if ye want.

KH25

Lets avoid the Suarez talk here lads. It'll make the thread a nicer place.

Apologies, post deleted

He didnt put the nashers o someone again did he ?

Not in this thread he didn't.

But he did in the Italy/Uruguay thread.

true, ill admit i posted about the incident when it happened on here and should have deleted it, it was going to create controversy and i should only worry about what our team are doing so apologies for that lads

Iseedeadpixels

So Herrera....... Sorry mods

dor843088

Is herrera confirmed or what ?

Not yet, a lot of talk though

Herrera would never bite anyone.

He's a nice boy.

His agent said there is no going back this time, the deal is done.

Seems to have been efficient this time, no drama stories like last year.

I had to google him to see what he looks like - I look about 12 for my age and he looks about 8 :pac:

Our one was Spanish... There was a Portuguese guy too, saved (with bare hands-legend) and scored peno v England in Euros,never played for united though.

Im not happy with Herrera, im sorry to say I dont have much confidence in him. He will find it extremely hard in the PL too. I hope he proves me wrong but cant see it.

I do like that utd are taking the note out of the likes of R.Madrid and just use the buy it now and get it over with. None of that ****ing nonsense about negotiating. We the 2nd the richest club in the world, spend the cash. Dont be petty over 5-10m like we have done in previous years.

I'm not sure I like this attitude especially when it has created a market-place where David Luiz is worth 50 million. At this rate we may see the first billion pound transfer within the next decade.

Good point that!

I'm glad to see that we are not penny pinching ala Ronaldinho where we could not cough over the 2-3 mil extra to sign him, if I remember correctly!!!

But yeah I agree, it also sends out a powerful message to other clubs in saying we mean business... Which we really do need to do after last summer!!

But unfortunately that's the way it's gone! Luiz for 50mil, Rooney on 300k.... It's utter madness but we risk getting left behind if we don't throw down a marker

Prize money rises, television money rises - flipside is always going to be that player values and wages rises in tandem. Remember when people called the Zidane and Figo transfers outrageous money. Go back to the first 1m transfer and people said the same.

United aren't paying Rooney near 300k
